Extremely useful!

I’ve been using this app all over the world for 7 years. It’s been a life saver! Where there’s no cell service, and no maps on GPS devices, this always works. I know exactly where I am and how to get to where I need to go. I won’t be without it!

なかなか良い

なかなかいいマップだと思う。
等高線もあるし、地形図としても使える。

Highly detailed for remote places

Kudos to everyone who loads data into these maps. The off road routes are incredibly accurate. Some of the routes are simply worn out paths in taller grass. It definitely helped me with navigating to more remote places (Africa, Central Asia, and New Mexico). In urban areas the maps were accurate with hotels and hospitals even in smaller towns and villages. I used this with other cell data map apps (with I’m guessing more fresh info), which created nice overlays. Where this app really helped me was with planning an overland journey through remote areas and when cell coverage dropped. I used this with bad elf, a sat gps that plugs in your smart phone or tablet. If you have your maps already downloaded the bad elf will show where you are on the map. I wouldn't use this for commuting but its a big help for off the beaten path type of adventure. I hope this helps!

Amazing!

By far the best and easiest map to use when out in the bush. No internet connection needed. Download the area where you are heading and boom. Get all the trails and your location with impressive accuracy.

Non si capisce a cosa serve

A parte ingrandire e salvare la mappa non sembra fare altro oppure se lo fa non è per niente chiara ed intuitiva.
